10:30 - 12:00 Psychosocial Aspects of Military CultureMark A. Stebnicki, Ph.D., LPC, CRC, CCM Bogue Sound Room
More than two million American troops have deployed to the Middle East since September 11, 2001 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn, and the Global War on Terror. More servicemen and women are surviving combat injuries than ever before due to improved battlefield medicine, post-operative medical technology, and better body armor. Despite survival rates, many have acquired catastrophic physical injuries/disabilities (i.e., traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputations) and serious mental health concerns (i.e., post -traumatic stress, suicide ideation, substance abuse, and behavioral addictions). Consequently, transitioning from active duty to civilian life (veteran and disabled veteran status) has a significant impact medically, physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychosocially in terms of the individual and family members overall adjustment.
As a result of the growing numbers of military and veterans with medical, physical, psychosocial, and mental health concerns, professional counselors must be knowledgeable and skilled in working with the unique cultural attributes that are foundational in the military population. Overall, the primary learning objectives of this presentation include the following:
1. Identify the unique medical, psychosocial, and vocational readjustment issues relevant to those exposed to military and civilian trauma.
2. Understand and discuss the application of rehabilitation services to military veterans versus non-military persons with mental and physical disabilities.
3. Recognize evidence-based treatment protocols for cultivating optimal physical, mental, emotional, psychological, career, and psychosocial resiliency after trauma.

By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to:

3:00 - 3:30 BREAK with drinks and cookies
3:30 - 5:00 The Career Decision State Survey Stephen Leierer, PhD. Bogue Sound Room
Conceptually, the career decision state is a subjective state of being in the moment regarding a career goal or career aspiration and is composed of both cognitive and affective components. This existential state raises such questions as “Who am I? (Identity), “To what goal am I headed? (Direction)” “What are my feelings regarding my goal?” (Satisfaction, Confusion), and “Do I believe in myself to make an appropriate choice and to attain a goal? (Self-confidence, Self-efficacy). When individuals enter a career center seeking career counseling they are in a subjective state of being referred to as the Career Decision State. The question is raised, are individuals ready to make important career or training decisions? This presentation will examine the Career Decision State Survey (CDSS), which is a brief inventory that takes a snapshot of one’s readiness for such efforts according to three constructs, certainty about a career goal, satisfaction with a goal, and vocational clarity regarding one’s career and life goals.By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to:
1. recall what the CDSS measures and how to score the instrument (CRC 01, CVE/CWA/CCAA 02, PVE 02).
2. interpret the results of the CDSS (CRC 01, CVE/CWA/CCAA 02, PVE 02).3. apply the CDSS for vocational rehabilitation planning purposes (CRC 01,
CVE/CWA/CCAA 01, PVE 01).
